Guests say
Elidir Cottage is praised for its peaceful location, welcoming hosts, and local amenities within walking distance. Guests enjoyed the cosy atmosphere, the selection of games, and the proximity to attractions. Some concerns were raised about the comfort of the beds and pillows, and the cleanliness of kitchenware, but the overall experience was positive with guests expressing a desire to return.
Most guests found the cottage to be of good quality, though there were isolated comments about finding dried food on crockery. The property was still being cleaned upon a guest's arrival, suggesting room for improvement in cleaning schedules.
The cottage's location is highly appreciated for its tranquillity, easy access to local amenities, and proximity to tourist attractions, including beaches and the scenic views of Caernarfon.
While the cottage is generally found to be cosy and well-appointed, several guests mentioned uncomfortable beds and flat pillows, indicating that some aspects of comfort could be enhanced.
There is insufficient information to accurately score the facilities and maintenance as reviews do not provide enough detail on the range or condition of facilities provided.
Guests mentioned a warm welcome with tea, cakes, and biscuits, which reflects thoughtfulness from the hosts. However, it should be noted that such gifts are a kind gesture and may not be guaranteed for every stay.

What a lovely cottage, we couldn't have asked for more. The owners were so kind and helpful. They provided us with all the local information to keep us busy for the week. Thank you Sian, we will definitely be back next year.

The positives are peaceful location well equipped cottage and good standard of decoration.What let it down was the property was still being cleaned when we arrived at check-in time of 4pm. The main double bed mattress was very uncomfortable the springs are shot. Evertime we turned we could here the springs. I should add we are both light weight adults. The pillows were so flat and lifeless we ended up buying pillows.Had it not been for these issues we would have given it 5*. However sleep is very important to us and we didn't sleep well at all. Our friend who used one of the single beds said he slept well.
